| [FOX] Several Palm Beach County, Fla., police officers are guarding the home of the former school resource deputy who stayed outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as last week's massacre unfolded, Fox's WSVN-TV reported. Deputy Scot Peterson, of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, was armed and stationed on the school’s campus when a suspect identified by authorities as Nikolas Cruz opened fire with an AR-15 rifle, leaving 17 people dead and others wounded. Peterson resigned Thursday after video surveillance showed he never entered the school, even though he "clearly" knew there was a shooting taking place, officials said. The revelation prompted widespread outrage. |

| #14 Liberal policy_ What I stumbled upon was a Broward County law enforcement system in a state of conflict. The Broward County School Board and District Superintendent, entered into a political agreement with Broward County Law enforcement officials to stop arresting students for crimes. 5. The motive was simple. The school system administrators wanted to "improve their statistics" and gain state and federal grant money for improvements therein. see https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/966854507744374784.html |

| #13 There is a story on the Broward County situation in the hopper for tomorrow. As you might suspect, it goes much deeper than an AWOL deputy. |

| #11 How many of us have the courage to do what we expect him to have done? Assault one (or more) killers with semi-auto rifles without cover or backup, armed with a pistol. I would not want to be him, then or now. I've been involved in violence before. I don't enjoy it, don't seek it out, and don't glorify it. But the point of being a man is you get up in the morning, get behind the mule, and you damn well plow. He had a job to do, he had the training, and he had a firearm. So he's a coward with blood on his hands, not an object of sympathy. |

| #10 Between this guy and the guy that killed his wife a few years ago, if I was named Scott Peterson I'd be filing the paperwork for a name change before the weekend. |

| #9 These guys nearly always retreat and kill themselves when they hit resistance. If he started taking fire back, even if inaccurate fire, he probably would have run sooner and possibly shot himself. Even if he didn't, his focus would have been on the deputy and not killing students. But this highlights the reason I have long held the belief that I cannot rely on the police to protect me or my family. They are not required to by law and have no duty to do it. Courts have ruled on that repeatedly. It's why for more than 10 years I've carried a gun, practiced, gotten training, and why I look at every place I go with an eye toward escape, cover, and the thought of "If there's trouble, how do I get my family out?" And if that requires me to provide cover fire and be a decoy, so be it. I've accepted that it may be the price I pay to keep my family safe. I can live with that. |

| #8 do we know if Peterson's gun was even loaded I wouldn't be surprised if this was a case where the county put the guy in there just to 'show' |

| #5 @#3: I'll look to the unarmed and now-passed ROTC students to answer that one. |

| #2 And here's your answer to the idea of "The police will protect us." When seconds count, the cop hid outside for minutes. |
